You’ve built something worth talking about. A product that solves a real problem. A service people need. A business with substance behind it. Yet the coverage doesn’t come, journalists don’t call, and your competitors seem to appear in the right places while you stay invisible. That gap hurts more than ego. It affects sales conversations, […]
The call usually comes when you’re busy. You’re between meetings, dealing with staff, or trying to get a proposal out the door. A producer from BBC Scotland wants a comment. A reporter at The Herald is writing about your sector. Maybe your company’s name has come up in a wider story and they need a […]
Only 49% of UK businesses have a formal crisis communications plan, and businesses without one face 30% longer recovery times after a crisis, with average financial losses reaching £1.2 million during major disruptions, according to the Business Continuity Institute’s guidance on crisis communication planning. That figure should change how most leaders think about crisis planning. […]
Your site looks respectable. It loads, the branding is tidy, and people are finding it. Yet the enquiries are thin, the sales don’t match the traffic, and too many visitors vanish without doing anything useful. That’s usually not a traffic problem. It’s a user experience problem. Most advice on how to improve website user experience […]
Most SME founders don’t have a content problem. They have a decision problem. You’re publishing when there’s time. A blog goes live after a quiet week. LinkedIn gets attention when someone in the team remembers. A sales brochure becomes a newsletter because it’s already written. Then everyone wonders why the effort feels busy but the […]
Your Google Ads are sending traffic to a landing page about price. Your LinkedIn posts keep talking about innovation. A trade article mentions your company, but the angle doesn’t sound like your website. Sales follows up with a deck that introduces yet another version of who you are. Nothing is broken in isolation. That’s the […]
You’re probably looking at PR because something important is happening. A launch. A fundraise. A hiring push. A regulatory issue you hope never becomes a headline. Or you’ve realised your competitors keep appearing in the places your buyers read, while your business stays invisible despite doing good work. That’s usually the point at which business […]
You’re probably dealing with one of three problems right now. Your organisation needs attention, but ordinary marketing isn’t cutting through. You need trust, not just reach. Or you’re in a sensitive category where one clumsy message can trigger customer complaints, regulator scrutiny, or a rough interview that takes on a life of its own. That’s […]
You’ve probably hit one of two walls. Either you’ve outgrown doing your own PR and you’re tired of sending hopeful emails into the void, or you’ve spoken to a few agencies and realised half of them are selling polish, not judgment. The first problem wastes time. The second wastes money. For most SME founders, the […]
A founder in London usually notices a reputation problem too late. Sales slow down. A prospect goes quiet after saying they were ready to move. A recruiter mentions “some concerns online”. Then someone finally sends the screenshot that explains it all. A one-star Google review is gaining traction, a frustrated customer has posted a thread […]
